KY: $5.5 Million - Transit Authority of the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government (ARRA Grant)

A total of $1.9 million will be used to purchase one clean diesel and two hybrid-fuel buses, and one cutaway vehicle. The hybrid buses will be the first step in making the system’s fleet “green.” In addition, the authority will use $1.5 million of the grant to acquire and install an automatic vehicle location/GPS system. The remainder of the funds will be used for automated fare boxes, bus stop improvements, and new security and communications equipment.
